    We were originally meant to go with a stone finish to the front of our house, but this has changed, the builder had the damp proof ready for the stone, but now needs to put it back in between the block work.

    I just want to know if it's possible or if there are any risks with this? He says it's not a problem.

    If you are talking about the vertical DPC's and the windows and doors are not in and the cavity is not closed at the window and door opes then it will not be a problem.

    Basically it's the front Door and Windows. The cavity is not closed in, there is no insulation to block it (as it's being pumped into the cavity).

    Is there anything I need to look out for to ensure it's done right? Or is this a ather simple/common thing to be done?

    It is common enough, just make sure the DPC is kept to the outside of the cavity, not mid way or inside.
